With the upcoming Crystal Lake series set to premiere on October 15, 2026, ReAnimateHer joins us for a deep conversation about the future of horror, the lore of Camp Blood, and what fans hope to see from the series. We discuss her hopes for Crystal Lake and the history behind Camp Blood, including the possibility of exploring the land of Crystal Lake and the stories that came before Jason Voorhees. “I want to know the history before that. Are they gonna throw in some information about the land of Crystal Lake?” We also get into another huge horror conversation: Who should play Freddy Krueger in the next A Nightmare on Elm Street movie?We explore potential casting, what makes someone right for the role, and what the future of iconic horror characters could look like. But this conversation goes beyond horror. ReAnimateHer also shares insight into what it really takes to become a content creator and Twitch streamer, including helpful tips for growing an audience, staying consistent, finding your niche, dealing with the challenges of content creation, and continuing to pursue your passion when the numbers aren't always there. Whether you're a Friday the 13th fan, a Freddy Krueger fan, a horror creator, a Twitch streamer, or an aspiring content creator, this episode is packed with conversations about creativity, storytelling, community, and the future of entertainment.Topics Covered:
Ten years after Freddy Krueger first invaded our dreams, Wes Craven returned to the franchise he created with something very different in mind. New Nightmare brought Freddy into the "real world," with Craven, Heather Langenkamp, Robert Englund, and John Saxon playing versions of themselves in a film that blurred the line between fiction and reality. Join us as we trace Craven's complicated history with the Nightmare on Elm Street series, what brought him back after years away, and how New Nightmare allowed him to reconsider both Freddy Krueger and the effect the character had on popular culture. Along the way, we dig into Freddy's radical redesign, the film's ambitious effects and set pieces, Heather Langenkamp's unusually personal performance, the ways real events from her life found their way into the story, and the movie's darker approach to a character who had gradually become as much comedian as monster. We also discuss the film's disappointing reception in 1994, its influence on the self-aware horror boom that followed, and how New Nightmare holds up more than thirty years after audiences weren't quite sure what to make of it.

Episode 315This week we're going back into Palworld 1.0, talking about the five Pals I rely on the most, digging into two separate Nightmare on Elm Street remake projects, looking ahead to nostalgic TV shows getting the big-screen treatment, and cracking open another M3P Time Capsule to find out what was popular 30 years ago.Welcome to your third place.It's another solo episode, so we're catching up on everything happening around the M3P universe before getting into the bigger conversations.That includes:
Listen. Do you hear that? Those are crickets. Crickets at the Marriott Suites O'Hare, abandoned site of Chicago's Fest for Beatles Fans. Unfortunately, there are no humans at this year's festival as it has been postponed to retool. #KitO'ReToole Some of the crickets are in ill-fitting Sgt Pepper costumes, others don obscure Beatles ephemera while wacking tambos to off-key “Yellow Submarine” singalongs, and a small number of lonely small-minded crickets are still wearing their pit-stained anti-Yoko t-shirts, repping for the original incels. Oh and look! There's even an aphid who's a Pete Best Look-A-Like and a corn weevil that's dressed up like Freddy Krueger for reasons unknown. As all the bugs scramble for crumbs of pre-packaged microwaveable hoagies while waiting for “Termites from Midge Ure's Tour Bus” to perform a medley of deep cuts from Press To Play, the Goys of Dum Dum Lame, joined by Producer Casey, are here to gab sad about this year's absence of fab community celebration. Let's take a few questions from the crickets:
Chris and Erik debate whether burping is worse than farting, recap a 5 a.m. estate auction bid on some not-so-real diamonds, and trade sleep struggles that end with the Stadium Pal, a wearable fix for the middle-of-the-night pee.

In the early 1980s, healthy young Hmong refugees across the United States began dying in their sleep. They went to bed exhausted and never woke up. Medical examiners found no poison, no disease, and no obvious cause of death. But the victims all shared the same terrifying belief: a malevolent night spirit called the dab tsog had come to crush the life from their bodies. The unexplained deaths became one of modern medicine's greatest mysteries—and inspired a young filmmaker named Wes Craven to create one of horror's most iconic monsters. Tonight, we uncover the heartbreaking true story behind A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Summer is here and we're staying indoors instead of sweating it out. We're keeping it cool in the A/C and with some chilling horror anthology TV to help us get through the long summer days. Here are 4 horror anthology series I've picked for our staff picks will this week. Tales from the Darkside (1983)What could've been Creepshow: The Series became Tales from the Darkside. Created by Night of the Living Dead director George A. Romero and horror producer Richard P. Rubinstein, Tales from the Darkside is a half-hour horror anthology show filled with practical effects, and crazy good folks in the director's chair and the writer's room. I recommend the pilot episode, “Trick or Treat” starring Barnard Hughes, if you want a good flavor for this series. Freddy's Nightmares (1988)Spun off from the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, Freddy's Nightmares gave many parents nightmares with its dark, disturbing, violent, and scary content being aired in syndication on broadcast TV where just anyone could watch it! Robert Englund reprises his role as Freddy Krueger and opens and closes each episode with some framing narration. The episode I think you should check out to get a taste for the show is “Killer Instinct,” which stars the great Lori Petty. It's eerie, creepy, and frankly a bit disturbing. If you're down for a good scare or just a big A Nightmare on Elm Street fan, Freddy's Nightmares is well worth your time. The Outer Limits (1995)The 1995 The Outer Limits revival is an incredible cavalcade of acclaimed science fiction and horror writers, directors, and actors. Lasting for 152 episodes and seven seasons, The Outer Limits (1995) far outstripped its predecessor, and offers viewers a fascinating and often poignant exploration of human topics through the lens of science fiction horror. There are so many episodes I could point to for great examples from this series, but one of my favorites is the season 4 episode, “Glyphic.” Starring Rachael Leigh Cook, Brad Swaile, written by Naren Shankar, and directed by the late, great Catherine O'Hara, this is a fascinating episode that deals with an unexplainable disease with an out-of-this-world solution. The New Scooby-Doo Movies (1972)Finally, The New Scooby-Doo Movies from 1972 rounds out my selections for the staff picks wall this week. No, it's not exactly what comes to mind when you think of anthology horror TV, but hear me out, I think it is. It follows in the anthology horror TV format of new guest stars every week, a new monster or ghost to figure out, a bit of mystery to uncover, but it's wrapped in an animated comedy package. It's anthology horror that's fun for everyone, be they adults, kids, or teens. And it also serves as a good chaser if you need something more lighthearted after the first three recommendations. While I literally enjoy every episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies, I think “The Loch Ness Mess” featuring The Harlem Globetrotters is one of the more interesting, if not strange episodes of the series.

Grab your popcorn and lock your doors, because this week Beans and Gaz are turning the lights down low. The boys are joined in the studio by horror aficionados Chris and Jake Montejunas—the masterminds behind the Supernatural Collaborations Media podcast and Iron Rose Customs LLC.As it turns out, all four grew up watching gore, ghosts, and ghouls from a criminally young age, and it's time to put that childhood trauma to good use. The crew dives headfirst into the ultimate horror debate: When it comes to the holy trinity of slashers, who reigns supreme? Is it the silent, calculated evil of Michael Myers, the relentless brute force of Jason Voorhees, or the quip-heavy nightmare fuel of Freddy Krueger?The conversation gets bloody as they dissect the evolution of the genre, pitting the golden age of practical special effects against the glossy, modern world of CGI. Plus, they tackle the age-old question: Do horror remakes ever actually match up to the original masterpieces?Wait, did we actually forget Clive Barker? The guys address the Cenobite in the room and debate whether they intentionally left out Hellraiser and Nightbreed, or if they just got distracted by things that go bump in the night.Intermingled with the cinematic debates is a treasure trove of odd trivia—including the terrifying true story that loosely inspired Wes Craven to create A Nightmare on Elm Street. Finally, the crew veers way off the beaten horror path to discuss the "regular" mainstream movies that somehow managed to scare the absolute bejesus out of them.It's a hilarious, nostalgic, and occasionally spine-chilling episode you don't want to miss!The Big Three: Breaking down Michael vs. Jason vs. Freddy.Practical vs. Pixels: Why 80s special effects still hold a special place in our hearts over modern CGI.The Remake Curse: Can a reboot ever capture the lightning in a bottle of the original?Horror Lore: The real-life medical mystery behind Freddy Krueger's origin.Unexpected Terror: Non-horror movies that left us scarred for life.Follow our guests:InstagramInstagramtallboyradio.com

En este nuevo episodio de Planeta Terror Podcast les comparto mi experiencia en el Montreal Comiccon 2026, donde tuve la oportunidad de ver de cerca a dos auténticas leyendas del horror: Robert Englund, el icónico Freddy Krueger, y Kane Hodder, uno de los Jason Voorhees más queridos por los fans. Además, les traigo dos recomendaciones de horror que no se pueden perder:
Some people collect baseball cards. Some people collect concert posters. Apparently now people collect garbage from outside Taylor Swift's wedding. Naturally, the crew has questions... and absolutely zero chill.This episode kicks off with one of the weirdest celebrity stories we've seen in a while: an artist sweeping trash off the streets outside Madison Square Garden after Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding, sealing it into tiny cubes, and somehow selling every single one. Is it brilliant performance art? A genius business move? Or proof that fandom has officially reached another dimension? The debate gets surprisingly heated as everyone tries to decide where "historic memorabilia" ends and "literal garbage" begins.From there, the conversation spirals exactly the way you'd expect from a comedy podcast. The gang debates celebrity obsession, talks about people traveling across the country just to stand outside major events, and wonders if there's any limit to what fans will buy.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities featuring everything from Mick Jagger regretting never meeting Elvis Presley, Tom Cruise's bizarre new comedy, Marvel updates, Spaceballs 2, NASCAR music, Netflix turning Monopoly into a reality competition, Adam Driver rumors, Freddy Krueger's return, celebrity birthdays, and enough pop culture chaos to make your group chat explode.Along the way, you'll also hear discussions about celebrity divorces, whether meeting your heroes is actually a bad idea, why Jason somehow ended up taking Manhattan, Moon discovering famous adopted celebrities, and Rizz nearly wiping out at the post office because apparently gravity remains undefeated.It's everything you expect from The Rizzuto Show: sarcastic humor, ridiculous debates, celebrity news, weird stories, pop culture commentary, and the kind of conversations that somehow start with trash cubes and end with horror movies and band names.If you're looking for a comedy podcast that mixes funny celebrity gossip, entertainment news, hilarious arguments, and the daily nonsense only this crew can create, you've found today's episode.Whether you're listening from St. Louis or anywhere else, thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your day. And remember… sometimes one person's garbage really is another person's collectible.If you enjoy this comedy podcast, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who would absolutely spend $25 on New York City sidewalk trash.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Lern discovers she's apparently hosting an all-you-can-eat wildlife buffet, which leads the crew down a rabbit hole of animal enthusiasts, backyard turtles, salmonella debates, and the legendary woman who accidentally assembled an army of hungry raccoons. As always, common sense takes a back seat while the jokes grab the wheel.Then the conversation shifts full steam ahead—literally—as Union Pacific's legendary Big Boy 4014 rolls toward St. Louis. The crew dives headfirst into train culture after discovering internet train icon Francis Bourgeois, whose pure joy over locomotives leaves everyone questioning whether they've ever truly loved anything as much as this man loves steam engines. Somewhere between "Where's Big Boy?" and "Amy is definitely out of his league," the gang realizes maybe the happiest people are just the ones who never let go of what made them smile as kids.Remember Sam Goody? Spencer's? Gadzooks? Waldenbooks? Radio Shack? KB Toys? Sharper Image? Orange Julius? The gang does, and what starts as a simple conversation about Gen Z returning to malls quickly becomes a full-blown trip through America's greatest retail memories. From candy stores and arcades to awkward trips through Spencer's "back section," every mall kid from the 80s and 90s will find themselves laughing along.Throw in stories about growing up, childhood obsessions, bizarre shopping trends, unforgettable stores, and the kind of sarcastic chaos only this crew can create, and you've got another episode that somehow manages to be completely ridiculous while also reminding everyone it's okay to stay excited about the things you love.Thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your morning. Whether you're listening in St. Louis, across the country, or hiding from raccoons on your own roof, we're glad you're here for another daily comedy show that proves reality is almost always funnier than fiction.Apparently now people collect garbage from outside Taylor Swift's wedding. Naturally, the crew has questions... and absolutely zero chill.Weirdest celebrity stories we've seen in a while: an artist sweeping trash off the streets outside Madison Square Garden after Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding, sealing it into tiny cubes, and somehow selling every single one.

What follows is exactly the kind of conversation you'd expect from this crew... except somehow even stranger. There's an anatomy lesson, fashion critiques, ear piercing stories, unexpected bonding moments, and the official formation of the "Plug Brothers." We wish we were making that up.Naturally, the arguments become just as entertaining as the answers. Is coconut water the same thing as coconut milk? Does "glass slipper" deserve extra credit? How many lanes are actually on a standard running track? Nobody can simply answer a question and move on when this group is involved.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.When to see Big Boy No. 4014 locomotive in St. LouisGen Z is making shopping malls cool againFormer Olympic, Penn State gymnast arrested in pet store attackFlorida Man Guilty Of Vacuum Cleaner SexSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Dune Part Three just dropped its IMAX trailer, Naruto is finally getting a big-budget live-action movie, and Freddy Krueger is coming back in a full Nightmare on Elm Street reboot. Frank and Squeaks break down a stacked week of trailers, teasers, and franchise news to figure out which of these actually have a shot. Along the way they react to the Shrek 5 trailer and its new animation style, size up the Crystal Lake teaser and its Pamela Voorhees focus, get hyped for the canon 1994 Ghostbusters animated series with Dan Aykroyd and Jack Quaid attached, and debate whether DC's Mr. Terrific series proves James Gunn is playing the long game after Supergirl. Plus a spoiler-friendly Dungeon Crawler Carl book club check-in and this week's recommendations, from Death Stranding 2 to the Predator Badlands comic mini-series. And the question of the week: if the X-Men ran the government, who gets the White House? Timestamps and Topics 0:00 Intro and Question of the Week: Which X-Men Should Run the Government? 5:18 Dune Part Three IMAX Trailer Reaction 12:36 Shrek 5 Trailer and the New Animation Style 16:16 Crystal Lake Teaser: The Friday the 13th Prequel Series 19:35 Naruto Live-Action Movie News and Casting 24:46 Nightmare on Elm Street Reboot at Paramount 28:49 Ghostbusters Animated Series Coming to Netflix 32:06 DC News: Mr. Terrific Series, Supergirl Thoughts, and Lobo's Future 41:49 Dungeon Crawler Carl Book Club Corner 50:04 Network Updates and Recommendations of the Week Key Takeaways The Dune Part Three trailer suggests the movie is expanding small moments from the book, like the worm heist, into major action set pieces, and it may be the biggest departure from the source material yet. Naruto's live-action movie has real momentum: director Destin Daniel Cretton is attached, creator Masashi Kishimoto has given his blessing, and a global casting search is underway for Team 7. The Nightmare on Elm Street reboot lands at Paramount with the Wes Craven estate involved and the team behind Barbarian and Weapons attached, and the premise holds up better in a modern setting than most 80s slashers. The new Ghostbusters animated series is set in 1994 New York, is canon, and has Dan Aykroyd producing, with Jack Quaid in the voice cast. DC greenlighting a Mr. Terrific series after Supergirl's soft box office signals James Gunn is prioritizing long-term world building over chasing safe bets. The Crystal Lake teaser centers Pamela Voorhees, played by Linda Cardellini, raising the question of whether a Friday the 13th story can work with Jason mostly offscreen. Quotes "You go to sleep, Freddy's in your mind. Nightmare on Elm Street is one of those stories that actually could work today just fine." "If I were a Naruto fan, these are all the stars lining up that I'd want to line up." "I think this is going to be the Clone Wars of Ghostbusters." "If you were to cut every part of Lobo out of this movie, you would not feel his absence in the slightest. That being said, Jason Momoa as Lobo nailed it." "Everything that's ever mentioned or anything that's put into his bag, you can assume will be used." Call to Action Enjoyed the episode?

Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show somehow starts with Point Fest prep and immediately spirals into backyard snake warfare, accidental public humiliation, mysterious old-person injuries, and one of the most aggressively cursed philosophical questions we've ever discussed on this daily comedy show.Lern nearly sacrificed herself to save her indoor cat from a giant backyard snake while fully committed to the “reading Vogue magazines outside with no clothes on” lifestyle. The result? Her chest now looks like Freddy Krueger signed it after a rough night in Ellisville. Meanwhile, Rizz debates whether friendship includes letting people sleep at your house during Point Fest weekend, and honestly… the answer may legally classify him as emotionally unavailable.We also uncover what may be the dumbest Internet trend in human history: “ball maxing.” Yes, apparently some dudes are injecting saline into their anatomy to achieve “grapefruit aesthetics.” Because therapy was simply too obvious. The gang dives deep into body dysmorphia, masculinity, medical horror stories, and why nobody — literally nobody — is spending as much time thinking about your balls as you are.Rafe contributes nightmare fuel with stories about phantom testicular pain, forgotten Q-tips in public, and somehow manages to make all of us afraid of our own nervous systems. King Scott attempts solutions involving decorative ball coverings, which somehow only makes the conversation worse. Honestly, this episode should probably be studied by scientists trying to understand societal collapse.Then things somehow get philosophical.The crew tackles “The Red Button vs Blue Button Dilemma,” where humanity must secretly choose between saving everyone or guaranteeing their own survival. Turns out trust issues may be the defining feature of modern civilization. Some of us chose hope. Some chose survival. Some chose chaos. And one of us may absolutely be the reason civilization collapses.Also discussed:Point Fest hotel insanityWhy old people aggressively wait outside restaurants at 11AMSkinny dipping with coworkersNaked Guitar HeroButthole lightning support groupsPublic shirt failuresWhy frying bacon naked is apparently a universal warningWhy snakes in West County probably own Stanley CupsThe emotional damage caused by humanity itselfIf you like your daily comedy show with equal parts existential dread, stupid Internet trends, accidental oversharing, and deeply unnecessary anatomy discussions, congratulations — you found your people.This episode of The Rizzuto Show is everything a daily comedy show should be: chaotic, hilarious, mildly concerning, and somehow weirdly therapeutic.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Wes Craven didn't invent the idea of dying in your sleep during a nightmare — he read about it in the newspaper. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, dozens of young Hmong refugees in America went to sleep and never woke up, and nobody could explain why. The CDC investigated. Doctors were baffled. And the victims themselves had seen it coming — they were afraid to sleep. The real nightmare came first. Freddy Krueger came second.FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Children dying in their sleep while having terrible nightmares. It's not just a movie plot from a Wes Craven film – it really happened, and inspired the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. (The Terrifying True Syndrome That Inspired A Nightmare on Elm Street) *** We're used to seeing someone on television or in movies die from a gunshot or stabbing, knowing they were just pretending – that the gun was using blanks, or the knife was using a retractable blade. But what we don't often hear are the times that those prop weapons end up killing someone for real. (Death By Movie Prop) *** How can a little girl disappear in a big crowd of people with no one seeing anything? Was it a case of stranger danger or did someone she know betray her trust? We'll look at the case of Beverly Rose Potts who went missing in 1951, never to be seen again. (Peril in the Park for Beverly Potts) *** Part medicine, part honey, part cannibalism… who or what was the mellified man? (The Mellified Man) *** They say that tragedy can change a person forever… and that couldn't be more true for one man who went from being considered lucky, to becoming deranged after a horrible accident, (The Hidden Wounds of Mr. Schultz) *** Famous last words. Humphrey Bogart said, “I should have never switched from Scotch to martinis.” Winston Churchill's last words were simply, “I'm bored with it all.” But sometimes what a person says on their deathbed can be shocking or outlandish – even if they aren't a celebrity. We'll look at a few unexpected deathbed moments.
